Which law of God was Solomon obeying, with his zillions of wives and concubines? The biblical hyperbole states that he was the wisest man of all time- but having that many mothers-in-law doesn’t sound too clever to me.

Geekwad, if it is an un-Biblical divorce then the answer would be, “They are both bad.” The earthly consequences would depend on the specific circumstances but both situations involve defying God. I suppose one could argue that a divorce would be more a big one-time sin and that living in sin would be a continual, “in your face, God” kind of sin.

If the divorce were Biblical (e.g., the other spouse commits adultery) then the divorce isn’t a sin at all.

I assume you weren’t implying that “living in sin” is some kind of divorce-preventative, as the facts prove otherwise.

What’s worse, getting divorced or “living in sin”?

Kevin, I commented on this story as well. I hope you don't mind the link back to my site. Basically, we once again see people who want the Church to adopt the ways of man instead of man adopting the ways of God.

It must be the same version that all of these “Christian” cohabitating couples who live in my community must be reading. Hmmmm…..

That is a powerful and often overlooked verse. Which part of “not even a hint” do they not understand?
